I didnt think the movie was that bad.I also went into it hearing how bad it sucked.You gotta give the guy respect though for not quitting and trying to give it his best shot to make it work.And like he said,it sounds like all he had to work with were friends of friends of friends scratching each others back and more interested in making a quick buck than delivering anything with a little bit of quality.Like they say,it's not who you know,it's who you blow. By the way,what was his first movie he directed?
